MCLIDE

MCLIDE is a free open source Macintosh IDE for Lisp implementations
on any platform. It's a double-clickable, stand-alone development
environment that connects to a Lisp either locally or through the
network.

This version of MCLIDE works with Clozure CL (a.k.a. OpenMCL) and
Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) as target lisp implementations. Support
for a number of other lisp implementations on different platforms is
under development.

MCLIDEs user interface is based on the mature IDE of Macintosh Common
Lisp. It provides rich interactive development and debugging tools in
the form of dialogs interacting with the target Lisp.

MCLIDE provides a consistent developer experience regardless of the
Lisp. It can be used on the same computer as the Lisp system, or
target one or more Lisp implementations on other computers or
operating systems.

Special thanks to Peter Paine for substantial feedback and
suggestions. His involvement has been essential in moving MCLIDE
forward. Glen Foy has provided a lisp syntax styling utility as an
optional plug-in. MCLIDE has also benefitted from contributions by
Shannon Spires and Madhu, among others.
